Thankfully I convinced this shellfish to hold off his NFL depression to give us a wrap up…

Oh…what’s that about the game? Um…yeah probably not going to make anyone feel better to review it…but…

In this pic, Prawny points out to us that the defense immediately assumed the position once again

The Dolphins gave up 207 yards on the ground in the game. 166 of those years were a career high by Chris Ivory, who plowed through defenders like Suh all game for extra yardage. I don’t know how many yards after contact Ivory had….probably a ton.

For the 4th time this season (every game) the opposing team went up early in the 1st quarter. The Dolphins have been down at least 2 scores from the start of the game in every game this season.

And it’s not just the run defense. There is no pressure on the QB consistently. Some people question whether Wake even suited up…but he did…he just got lost in the sun

The Dolphins did not have a sack on Sunday. They have 1 sack this year.

The Dolphins could not stop Brandon Marshall either. Marshall had 128 yards on 7 catches. He caught a 58 yard pass early which caused most of us to pound our head into the wall.

The Little Prawn has a proposed solution which he demonstrates in this pic.

I HATE YOU BRANDON MARSHALL!!!

Moving on to the offense, it wasn’t good either. Just 226 yards total offense. The Dolphins avoided any major turnovers in the first half of the game but they didn’t move the ball at all.

The Dolphins game plan is basically to make sure they get short yards on one of the two first downs, zero yardage on another of the first two downs, then throw beneath the first down marker and hope a receiver breaks a tackle. Sometimes it works…but its hard to string together a touchdown drive when this is the plan. As Dan Fouts pointed out all game – you are asking your receivers to do a lot!

The good news is that we finally used Kenny Stills. Who caught five passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Stills really can’t be blamed for any of the offensive woes this season. The team is just not using him. When they finally targeted him on Sunday it paid off.

And this guy caught another Touchdown! That’s 2 for Stoneburner. Prawny loves his name!

One guy that always plays hard is Jarvis Landry. Look at him leap says Prawny! Landry lead the team in special teams yardage, was 2nd in receiving yards and lead the team in rushing yards.

The fact that Landry lead the team in rushing yards is not a good thing. The fact that he did it on 2 carries is even worse. The fact that Miller had only 7 carries is enough to drive any Dolfan crazy. The running game has been horrible this year. The Dolphins take themselves out of games early but even in the redzone late in the 4th quarter, they refuse to run the ball.

Speaking of letdowns in the 4th quarter…for a little while it seemed like the Jests and the officials were opening the door for the Dolphins to steal a game where they were thoroughly dominated. But Tannehill’s touch in the redzone was as awkward as a priest in a playground. It wasn’t happening.

Tanny was sacked three times and under a lot of pressure all game. He finished completing 19 passes on 44 attempts for 198 yards. He had two touchdowns and two interceptions. Those two interceptions were in the redzone.

It was enough to make Philbin’s blood boil…well maybe not.

I feel the same way Coach! The good news is we can all sleep in next week.

O Rob:
Bledsoe set a record for completions and attempts under Parcells as a HC. But in any event I think by the time Parcells was here he was not as interested in the job. He checked out rather than work with Ross.

O Rob, pass to score doesn’t mean pass first. That’s how you make plays and score. Run to win means with a lead, run the ball, control the clock and keep your defense fresh. Phil Simms threw for over 4,000 yards under Parcells with the Giants when that was rare in the 80s. Then with Bledsoe in the early 90s in NE they threw it more than anyone but Curtis Martin also ran a lot. Balance! We’re on the same page believe it or not. 🙂

Also i say, promote the PS, who picked off Tanny, guy he’s probably better than McCain. Im guessing it was Dowling. By end of the year id like to see Dowling and Lippett on the field.

We should cut Grimes and Wake at the end of the year, open some cap room for the new coach, Vernon can be let to walk as well and we can draft Nkemdiche in the first round, without the trade up i assumed we would have to previous to our epic let down.

I disagree with blaming Ross, Tannebaum or Hickey at this point. I dont see they have screwed this up. This was pretty bold of Ross to fire him right now, i think that shows he takes action when he needs to. He felt and so did most of us that things were trending int he right direction, he held on to Philbin and staff thinking it would get better, it looked like it was and now he has made a decision and moved on since its obvious its not. I wouldnt put this on Ross. He gave Philbin the appropriate time to prove he could do it, he failed, he fired him. Tannebaum and Hickey had no part of any of these hirings so again i dont see how they are to blame either.

Dan Campbell came here from Texas A&M and ask yourselves this: if he is so good why isn’t he a HC elsewhere or even an OC? Because he isn’t that good. Steve Ross is the dumbest NFL owner out there, he spends $$$ but is a clueless jackass.

i get that is OD’s and gigi’s thing. i can even agree ross has made a mess of this team, not like it wasnt before he got the team. but i dont get the point. it isnt like ross is going to say, ‘oh well i dont know how to own an nfl team, here who wants this damn thing’. we can ask, and as fans make enough noise to maybe have some minor input in a coaching change but bitching about the owner is just useless IMO.

SB7MVP,
What would you need for context? I think the situation was clearly stated. And I think all anybody said as far as “anti-Tannehill” was that if it was true it is not the type of behavior they’d like from their qb, and on the homer side it was stated that Tanne should be able to say whatever he wants and it’s inconsequential. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Mike E: If you think we are moving “forward” by promoting Dan Campbell….well now. Steve Ross FUCKED UP when he mishandled firing Tony Sparano and kept that fucktard Jeff Ireland around; then he fucked up more by firing Ireland and keeping Philbin. A clean slate is needed, this team has gotten progressively worse.

Let’s see what happens with the team. There’s plenty of time for a clean slate. This season is likely toast, so we have a whole 12 games to prepare how we choose our new staff, if we need one. We made a major move, we fired the HC, I’m optimistic from that alone. I’m willing to see how things work out. You have to start somewhere.

Dan Campbell came here from Texas A&M and ask yourselves this: if he is so good why isn’t he a HC elsewhere or even an OC? Because he isn’t that good. Steve Ross is the dumbest NFL owner out there, he spends $$$ but is a clueless jackass.

to late, i was already the first to say he sucks. so there…….i get to say i told you so first

The only critcism i cant understand here is the one saying Ross needs to sell the team or move it. Those have popped up here and it makes 0 sense. I wouldn’t follow this team if they left Miami. The Dolphins arent the Dophins to me in any other city.

Ok, time for us all to hit the reset button…..thankfully Ross helped us do that and now is the time to get behind Dan Campbell for better or for worse. Let’s see where a fresher start can take us.
Like I’ve said, it’s rare for a HC to be dumped 4 games in….so this gives or new HC (not gonna call him interim), a full 12 games and a bye week, 3/4 of a season to get us on the good side of .500.

We can beat the Titans & the Texans look beatable too.
That would put us at 3-3 with some new momentum & aggression!

Ross was more concerned about putting in an “orange carpet” and having “celebrities” attend games; giving shares of ownership to “stars” like JLo, Marc Anthony, Serena & Venus Williams, putting in Club Liv — all this he did instead of getting the BEST PEOPLE to run this team; and for that I blame him.

Look, I only said “if it’s true” because I try to be reasonable around here and not incite riots. Too many people are reporting this for it to not have some legs. And I don’t want to kill Tanne or his minions for their undying support. But many question certain aspects of his game and persona, and I was just asking if others had heard this to get their take. Most said “if it’s true” then it is not what they like to hear. Besides, it doesn’t matter at this point, as I think the entire team is being evaluated for the future. Each will show their true colors over the next few weeks and decisions going forward will be made.

Gigi, Who Ross hired as interim doesnt really make much difference. Who he hires as the replacement will. Staff they are putting together right now is just a make it through the season staff. The year is pretty much a wash already, who we have as interim doesnt mean much in the long run. I guess my question is who you think he should have hired?

Try, as me being from the Tanny homer side, I never ‘stated that Tanne should be able to say whatever he wants and it’s inconsequential.’

I’m sure he’s said some dumb shit, we all do. But I’m not gonna go all crazy over some beat writer in a mill of thousands to bash Tanny over hearsay razzing of a teammate.
If you’ve even been in a locker room at any level you’d hear that kinda shit all the time.

Let’s focus on the team’s coaching issues that has affected the players play/product on the field.
Maybe we can still turn this season into a productive one. Who knows, but we gotta TRY.
See what I just did there? 😉

We are where we are, people are losing sight of the situation. Dan Campbell is the interim HC, that’s not going to change and it doesn’t mean it will bad either. It is what it is, why keep going back in time? I’m sure we’d all love to have that opportunity in life but it doesn’t work like that.

“He’s a hard-working guy, a really dedicated guy, and most importantly, a tough-minded guy. They made a good choice in going with him. He’s mentally tough enough to deal with the situation they have in Miami. That’s not an easy situation to take over. For Dan, or any coach for that matter. It’s a challenge. They’ve got some issues to deal with. But he’s a tough guy who will take the right approach and do a good job.”

Tim, I’ll be happy if Campbell comes in and makes me feel like this team competes from kickoff to final whistle. I don’t expect to win any game in particular, but I want to see effort, adjustments and competing for the entire 60 minutes. Anything else we get will be gravy.

Agreed, and I think I’d be shocked if we saw anything less, especially after his rousing speech on how he’s a full on intensity & dominate guy.
That’s what this team was lacking in the leadership role of a HC….Philbin was a smart nice guy, but you need fire and brimstone to compete in the NFL against the best of the best week in and week out.

I hope Dan opens eyes and Ross has to man up on his statement about Dan being a candidate for permanent HC after the season if he does well.

Ditto! Right now it’s not fun for anyone and not competitive. I hope Campbell can at least get that out of the players because Joe did not. The team went 2-6 in Joe’s last 8 games. There you have it. Mr. T said the record spoke for itself and going back to the end of last year was a part of it.

To me he put it on practice habits which may not have fit with his philosophy but his pay grade didn’t allow for him to challenge the HC. Now he has a chance to do it his way. He’s also challenging the players big time. The guys who compete in practice will suit up and play, the guys who don’t will be inactive or not play major roles because there is only so much he can do with the roster at this point.

Full disclosure- I do admit to being “pissy”- I lost my phone (seriouslySB7, not mocking) and I’m going to have to pay off the balance on it and then buy another one, which frosts my ass and makes me sick, same way I am after walking into the dealership and buying a new car- glad to have the car, hate the feeling of the years of payments to follow. My apologies- I’ll get over it.

No fucking around, totally serious, I left my phone at PF Chang Saturday night. I was looking for my phone after you told your tale of woe, and I couldn’t find it. I thought to myself, you gotta be kidding, because I too have had my phone # for a long time, and I’ve also never lost my phone either, and I’ve had this particular phone for over 3 years. I got lucky, someone turned it in, and they had it. Hopefully, yours will turn up too.

I keep hoping.. I went back to Kroger 4 times in a 24 hour period just to see if anyone turned it in and to check everywhere I went just to see if i left it laying on a shelf or it got kicked under something… is that compulsive?

Trypod: He should have fired Philbin after last year. History has repeated itself hasn’t it? I am disappointed we have an owner who has wasted a lot of $$$ and time. I know he means well and wants us to win, but it was pretty clear that would never happen under Philbin….just took Ross longer to realize it.

I know- but I do think it is the best situation under the circumstances- we don’t fall any further behind with or without Philbin, we aren’t going to get anyone better at this time- best to see who (if anybody) is going to step up and go from there until the off-season, when wholesale changes can be made.

Dan Campbell came here from Texas A&M and ask yourselves this: if he is so good why isn’t he a HC elsewhere or even an OC? Because he isn’t that good. Steve Ross is the dumbest NFL owner out there, he spends $$$ but is a clueless jackass.
_______________________________________
Gigi:
He is just an interim coach. Ross really didn’t have any other choice right now. I mean he could have made Coyle or Lazor the HC. I don’t think anyone really expects Campbell to be the HC next year. The only way that happens is if really good things happen for this team over the next 12 games and then I don’t think anyone will be complaining.

I don’t know Tim. As much as I don’t think Philbin is/was a great motivator, the players definitely get a lot of blame as well. This isn’t HS Football, or College, these are well paid professionals. I think that’s the problem. It’s hard to motivate guys who make enough money to feed small countries. They either have it or don’t. What may motivate them is if the rest of the guys are.

I’ve been saying the players should shoulder much of this blame all along and said exactly what you’re saying now earlier. They play the game. All I’ve heard for weeks was the coaches don’t know how to use guys and the schemes are bad etc.

Campbell clearly pointed out the players might be trying but they’re not competing good enough. He feels that starts in practice. We’ll see if his mentality lights a fire under their asses. I sure hope he does. I want to enjoy the season, not just look forward to 2016. Even if no playoffs but we play some really good spirited games. That would be a warm welcome because so far they suck.

If Campbell is truly intense, a players coach, can get his guys to go thru walls for him, and knows a tad about clock management, then we could have the makings of a permanent HC here in Miami.
He’s 39 with one of the younger teams in the NFL. This could work.
I’m really proud of Ross & Co. for pulling the trigger this early, never thought he would until we were mathematically eliminated.

It’s rare to see a so called ‘interim’ guy get so many games to make his mark.

He’s going to have a learning curve with clock management, challenges, decisions in big times in games etc. It goes with the territory as would be expected from a first time and interim HC. All I want to see is a team that plays with spirit and pride. Enough of getting beat right out of the gate to the end.

Coaching was an issue, I think we’re past that. Lose two straight games in bad fashion in your division and in your home opener as well as in London also a home game along with a 2-6 record in his last 8.

Are you looking for me to acknowledge I was wrong in a sea of experts? Yes I was wrong about Philbin. Won’t be the last time I’m wrong either.

what is so pathetic, is i think i made that same comment about 8-10 years ago with some new start of something or other. just didnt care if they won or lost just wanted to see some competitive fire and a team that plays hard…….guess i am still waiting

Just watched the interview with Campbell and he is putting on a good front and i think he means what he says but is all kinda discombobulated right now. His head is swimming. Its a huge undertaking ahead of him so its to be expected but id rather wait a few days and see and hear his interviews later. Im behind him regardless, i just hope he can save face for this franshice and make us look better than these last few games> If he does that he is a success this year, period.

D:
I think that is a pretty fair take on the situation. Save face for the franchise is mission 1. If he can make us play competitive ball that is a job well done. We are not going to the playoffs and we will be lucky to crack 6-10 right now but make us a tough out and get us some wins and Campbell will have done his job. We get to 8-8 and Campbell may even be a viable HC candidate.

Make it a game and go from there. We’re always trying to survive and get back in it. It’s depressing, Change that culture first, just make it a game and give yourselves a chance to win it. The Jets actually gave us that chance multiple times in the 3rd and 4th quarter and we didn’t take advantage.

Campbell mentioned line play right off the bat. Not playing on our heels but going through you. Most of us have been saying that’s an issue. Just glad to hear he didn’t stay stick with the plan because it wasn’t working. We’ll see.

I wonder if the CBA allows the team to practice this week considering they have new HC when the CBA says the players get 4 consecutive days off for bye week. I hope the team supplies Let’s hope the OL and TE get healthy for next week so they can practice together for only the 2nd time all together. Maybe they can overcome all the new players to the OL and no practice time since Detroit game last year except for 9 hours.I hope Campbell gets some guidance on CBA so other reasons don’t arise and distract him from more serious issues.

Dallas and Philly i had as losses though, they are looking more and more winnable these days, as was Indy at the end of the year which again, that team doesnt look too good either. Swapping the Jets, Bills, and Jags losses for those isnt completely out of possibility.

JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK and turned on PTI ONLY BECAUSE THE DOLPHINS were the FIRST topic on the board. BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Michael Wilbon for saying “the problem with the Dolphins is AT THE TOP. STEVE ROSS HAS MADE SOME POOR CHOICES AND NOW HE’S PAYING FOR IT. Goofball Kornholeheiser chimed in “the Dolphins haven’t been relevant for about 10 years.” Turned it off after that b/c I can’t stand the KORNHOLE guy. who also said, I’m not sure Philbin deserved to be fired.” TONY, YOU should have been fired many years ago!!

OK
Gotta move the desk and computer back to their original places. hope this thing comes back on when I am done.
It does that sometimes when I shut it down and then I have to wait for hours to plug it all back in
GO PHINS!!!

Oh man, come on! RT did some amazing athletic things to avoid pressure. He hurdled his own player to get 3 yards on a run when he was totally dead in the pocket. Threw left handed to avoid another sack. Took hits as he released the ball 5-7 times and made two against the grain throws that were elite in nature. You’re cutting him short here by a lot. The OL and DL are under performing. We are losing in the trenches.

The good news is that they have 2 weeks to prepare for the next game. The bad news is we have to sit at 1-3 for two weeks wondering what happens next. Wish I could just binge watch the season on Netflix and see how it turns out. Tom Petty was right.

wait, hold on. you mean it is ok to skip over and article. hmmmm, who would do such a thing.

(tim, saw your ‘fair enough’ comment. and again i really apologize if you thought i was trying to point out you were wrong. furthest thing i would ever do to you or any on here. it is bad enough this is all negative. for anyone to brag about being right about a negative issue would be pretty fucking low. hell even if tanny or philbin took this team and won a sb, saying i was right and rubbing someone face it is would be very poor taste but at least it is about good news. again my apology is you thought i was doing that)

Here’s some career stats for N.Suh what’s amazing he is getting 2x and triple teamed and sometimes he is even getting chipped by TE and RB’s.Look at his pass defensed and for everyone who thinks he’s not worth the contract then check his tackles for each year. He’s on his way to a year similar to previous years.

Given Campbell’s limited experience as a coach (and none as a coordinator), it seems obvious owner Stephen Ross and his advisors chose him to bring some energy and credibility as an ex-player to the locker room more so than trying to make drastic scheme changes.
If Ross has learned from the failings in the football operation throughout his tenure, he needs to seriously consider wiping the slate clean altogether, putting a new coach and personnel chief on parallel tracks with no one to blame but themselves if things don’t work.

“Always a very smart guy,” Garrett said. “Knew the game really well, knew things beyond his position and really cared about it, cared about detail, always wanted to know more and loved to play, has a great passion for playing, a great passion for teams and a great passion for the game of football.”
When I was in HS and I had to do volunteer hours I was football student asst and I worked as film room asst.Basically load up of tapes for coaches. Well everyday I would pick tapes for coaches they wanted and many mornings I would see coaches sleeping in towel baskets from previous day and still wearing same clothes. They were dedicated. It’s a hard job with little appreciation unless you win your last game

lmao at the idiots on monday night countdown. talking about miami. saying the locker room needs leaders to motivate now the coaches. as a player you shouldnt need your coach to motivate you but the players in the locker room.

ok what is it, do they need motivation or not? if you need it what does it matter if it is a coach or player. fucking idiotic two sided talk.

GDP; I’m a tad happier BUT I”M NOT REALLY HAPPY. –That’s because the worst owner in Dolphins’ history, the only Fins owner without a single playoff win, has systematically driven this franchise deep into the basement in the AFC East, a division Don Shula “owned” for the better part of two decades. Today’s announcements are noteworthy for what we DIDN’T HEAR. –We didn’t hear that both of our incompetent coordinators had been fired. We didn’t hear that T-Baum and Peterson were let go. We didn’t hear about changes in our scouting department. IN ESSENCE, this franchise needs a TOTAL MAKEOVER. WE DIDN’T HEAR OF ANY SUCH THING! –More than anything else, Ross needs competent advisors. He COULD have reached out to Bill Polian, but he didn’t. He could brought in Ray Lewis to REALY SHAKE-UP THE ATTITUDE OF THIS TEAM AND FRANCHISE. BUT HE DIDN’T.Frankly, in place of a house cleaning, ROSS brought in a wisk broom.!!
—————–
ROSS STILL DOESN’T GET IT. –But maybe, just maybe, the upcoming off season will bring about the house cleaning this franchise needs. Until then, go CAMPBELL and beat those Tennessee hicks!!

Offense has some serious woes but I think it mostly hinges on the Line…
Albert better come back healthy and maybe they can get this thing right over the Bye.
I know if Coyle goes we will have a D that gives up 13 or less a game.
WERE STILL GOOD!

Campbell said, I just got the job 2-3 hours ago, it’s not time for coaching staff decisions. He has to take it all in. That would be the case with any of us. He has a bye week to think it all through and then get ready for a game. Let’s have a little patience. LOL

Tim,
I found it curious that Ross reportedly left the decision up to Campbell. I would have fired Coyle along with Philbin and taken it from there. Coyle is as much to blame as Philbin, if not more IMO.

If the only thing Campbell does over the next 12 games is light a fire under the team then it’s a good choice IMO. I doubt he is ready to be a HC in the NFL, but might be the best guy for the job considering the circumstances. I assume if they can find a decent replacement for Coyle that he will be let go within the next couple days. Will be interesting to see if the offense looks any different now that Philbin is gone or if there is a noticeable change in philosophy.

I will always be bitter that Ross seemed to have steered Harbaugh towards Michigan and decided to keep Philbin around here. I have a hard time believing he couldn’t have gotten Harbaugh here if that’s what he really wanted.

Drg,
I would like to see them bring in Jim Schwartz as DC. I don’t think that Harbaugh was going anywhere except for Michigan. He has full control of that program, something he likely couldn’t have in the NFL. I thought the same thing about the offense; it will be interesting to see if there is a change in philosophy no that Philbin is gone.

Brian, Mr. T is now Ross’ football figurehead. Hickey is purely personnel. Not sure if Tannenbaum is high on him or not, but I don’t see where he’s at fault at this time. Ross hired Hickey, not Philbin.

They are both good players and will no doubt contribute. We are desperate at OL, DB, and LB right now. Just think that it would have been wiser to draft with that in mind. That, and I never like picking WRs in the first round. Just not an impactful enough position, IMO.

lol you fools here wanting gruden as the HC. didnt just hear him talking about both the qb’s saying how they are struggling cause how bad their o lines are playing (just recapping what he said). he knows nothing about qb play, dont you know if the oline is bad the qb still has to be all world.

Maybe, but Ross could have offered full control and more $ to get Harbaugh here. Maybe he was 100% going back to college, but I have a hard time believing it couldn’t have happened if that’s what Ross really wanted.

Maybe so, but his wife didn’t like Miami. I just think that Michigan is a better fit for him, and his dream job as well. He’s making a ton of money there, I don’t know how much more we could have paid him where it would have swayed him to coming here.

Why isn’t Campbell ready? You don’t have to be a coordinator to be a good coach, you just have to motivate and have a vision, that the team will follow. Players need to know why to give it their all. Obviously no one believed Philbin’s vision.

I don’t know, if he’ll be a good coach, but I do know they’ll come out fired up more than Joe had them.

Campbell is a hardass, and I believe will be a players coach. I hated watching the deer in headlights looked every time they showed Philbin on the sidelines.

I’m not writing him off, but the track record for rookie HCs with no former experience isn’t very good. You can be the greatest motivator in the world, but you need to do so many other things in order to be successful. Teams grow tired of your message after a while unless you can back it up with great schemes and game management.

You don’t need schemes, leave that to the coordinators. If you like a certain scheme, then hire that type of coordinator, but don’t force your scheme on him. I agree on the game management, Philbin’s in a nutshell was the preseason game he challenge the spot and lost the ball.

Campbell said, I just got the job 2-3 hours ago, it’s not time for coaching staff decisions. He has to take it all in. That would be the case with any of us. He has a bye week to think it all through and then get ready for a game. Let’s have a little patience. LOL
————————————
we have to hit the ground running and we need him to hire a te coach. Lazor has to deal with regular OL starters not getting any practice together and a TE that isn’t available to help this OL in addition he has lots of new wr’s who are still learning complex passing game.

The season isn’t lost yet, not until you get to 7 loses, but we’re running out of time fast. Generally when a team fires the coach the players respond, at least when the team has a little bit of talent.

I’ve been a big proponent of Lazor and Chip Kelly’s offensive philosophies. Starting to question my belief in them after the way this season has gone. Maybe teams are catching up to it. Tannehill has got to play better for this offense to work, but he is under pressure almost every snap. His pocket presence and struggles dropping the ball in over defenders isn’t helping matters at all. We need to get the ball out quick and teams know that. NY blitzed a safety or corner from the edge almost every down with the intention of knocking down quick screens or slants.

They were a good defense last year and this year they got a good DL coach and a good defensive mind that likes blitzing. Miami’s lunch money was stolen a lot because of our OL injuries and paying 2 new guards and center along with journeyman Fox. Plus we didn’t have our starting TE. It may have been a different story if we had our starters practicing together more,maybe we will see different results when we get back to normal

I think a HC has to be great on at least one side of the ball. Coordinators come and go, especially the talented ones. If the HC doesn’t have his own system or HOF type players that can run things themselves it falls apart. Can’t sit here and tell you what makes a great HC, but it’s obvious when you see the great ones.

What was Shula, Parcells, and Knoll great at? You have to bring in coordinators that have a similar philosophy that you have, but you don’t have to be great on one side of the ball. Belicheat and Rexie are both great on the D side, but it isn’t mandatory.

He had the horses then, I think this team misses Delmas a lot. Aikens isn’t ready to start yet. The thing I’ve noticed is we don’t have an LB that cleans up like Zach did, if the first guy misses it’s off to the races.

Were going to run the ball and stick with it…
Thats the Fuckin problem!
We run the ball once or twice and the first loss we go to passing behind a line that cant protect.
Oh, then the D dont give a shit so they let us get down by 2 scores and then Lazor has no other choice but to call all passes. And it’s Sack, Pressure, Sack, Ball Tipped, more Pressure INC, Sack, Throw Away, Pessure Again, INT…

Honestly, I couldn’t speak much about Knoll, but both Shula and Parcells were geniuses at taking away what other teams did best and capitalizing on their own strengths. More than anything, both guys knew how to get their players to play as if their jobs were on the line every Sunday. Campbell might be able to do that, but will the players respect him?

that’s 2.09 per second. That is the reason why NE is doing so good with 3 OL rookies. It helps that he has worked under 1 system his whole career. What happens to tanny if he has to learn a new system?

Pouncy is a good run blocker, I think we should try it some time. Did you hear Fouts praising him on like our only run of the game. Gotta do that at least 10 more times and not on the season! Just change it up a bit so the other guys dont catch on.

No new system Suck
Albert needs to get healthy and maybE get that other dude playing
You know, whats his name, he fills in at like every spot, been here a couple seasons now
DO SOMETHING!
FIX THE LINE!!
WERE GOOD!!!

FFR, I’m not close enough to the team to say this or that. I feel too many people from afar do that. Campbell has been here since 2010. He’s coached and won and lost, more losing than winning in MIA. He was the TEs coach and if you look at it, Fasano, Clay, Sims, Stoneburner etc. Cameron was a proven receiving threat beforehand. He’s done a good job with his guys. Let’s see if he can translate that through 53. I hope he is that guy and we go on from there. At this time that’s what I’m rooting for. 🙂
